We get an update on the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran from Israel, where reports are growing of discrimination against non-Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel attempting to seek shelter from Iranian drone and missile attacks. While Jewish neighborhoods are "well protected" by bomb shelters, shelters are much rarer in Palestinian neighborhoods within the highly segregated country, explains Israeli journalist Orly Noy. "This is the meaning of a supremacist, racist regime," she says.
Noy, whose Iranian Jewish family immigrated to Israel during the 1979 Islamic Revolution, also points out that public focus on Iran has allowed the "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank to continue with minimal international outcry. This settler and soldier-led violence, coupled with Israel's ongoing restrictions and humanitarian aid, are "part of the continuing genocide, the infliction of measures and policies meant to bring about the physical destruction of Palestinians," says Amnesty International's Agnès Callamard. "The control over humanitarian organization is very clear. It is meant to control those who dare speak up, those who are on the ground and are witnesses to the ongoing genocide."
